2017 Year of the Rooster

It was fun seeing all the images from the Chinese New Year posted on social media over the weekend. So, it is goodbye to the monkey and hello to the rooster!

2017 is a Fire Rooster Year…

Chinese astrology accords that every year is associated with one of the five elements and an animal, with the combination setting the astrology for the year.

“Roosters are characterized as observant and hardworking. Active and talkative, Roosters tend to enjoy social events and being in the center of attention, according to Chinese astrology. They also typically enjoy sports, according to traits set by the astrology.”

“2017 is set to be unlucky for Roosters, according to Chinese astrology, because being in the year of one’s birth sign does not bode well. Chinese astrology dictates that Roosters will have to monitor their money and health extra carefully. However, when it comes to love, Roosters truly in love are advised to get married. Those in dead-end relationships should consider breaking up, according to the astrology.”

So, what do you think about roosters? I have friends who have an affinity for the bird and collections abound…

Admittedly most of them tend to fall in the jurisdiction of the kitchen…
